I don't think there are any images in it, but I remember it very well, it's one of those kind of books that you remember your whole life for some reason. This lady, she became utterly destitute and went from living well to just barely surviving, she became so poor her clothes hung on her on account of her weight loss from slow starvation. Her "good friends" slowly slowly disappeared, this poor woman was so utterly broken & I thought I caught some bitterness on her part. The story itself is a sad one but the story does not leave you depressed or blue, it is actually pretty interesting to read and well worth it. I am glad the author wrote this.
